Neo-cons first line of defense - "Saddam was a tyrant" they all do it [View all]

It never fails, anytime one of these vile idiots are asked if the Iraq war was worth it or if they had 20/20 hindsight, would they still have invaded. THey always say something like "I'm glad Saddam is gone, he was an evil tyrant"

That isn't the fucking point!! The point is not that he was evil or a tyrant, yes he was, but whether the United States invaded on FALSE PRETENSES and based on LIES to get the American public riled up and back the war because they were scared of mushrooms clouds on the horizon.

I'm so sick of the neo-cons using this slimy deflection to this question. It's as if they were all schooled to do this like a parrot. It isn't the damn point that Saddam was a bad guy, its that the Iraq war was WRONG in the first place.
